What secrets does the Harburger Portal hold? This grand gateway whispers tales of a time long past.

Before 1937, the Harburger Portal stood as a gateway to a different world. Harburg was part of the Prussian Province of Hanover. It was the capital of the Harburg district. The Harburger Portal witnessed the merging of Harburg with Wilhelmsburg in 1927, creating the city of Harburg-Wilhelmsburg. Later, the Greater Hamburg Act brought Harburg under Hamburg’s wing, alongside other independent cities like Altona.
